Georgia negotiates in connection with changing the country's name with those countries which still call the country as Gruziya.

Tbilisi appealed to many countries for " Georgia" to be used as the official name, Deputy Foreign Minister Nino Kalandadze said at a traditional briefing. First, Korea responded to this initiative. It has already made a decision to change the name.

Kalandadze said that this is especially important for Georgia. She said that some countries can not change the name of the country because it is connected with technical and financial problems.
